 This is a problem with the application on your Solaris box.  It
has requested an illegal pixmap be created.  (Probably a negative
parameter or something like that.)

 If it works well on your sun, you can try setting your X11 resolution
to something close to the Sun's (1152x900) and see if that keeps
the application from sending this bad X11 request.
